Beautiful Madness

Originality - nailed it. I've yet to see this done. While I think this is an utmost silly concept, its executed flawlessly, and the end result is stunning. Mabey to the point we should be re-writing the book on silly.

Technique - if it didn't come out so awesome I'd probably be scolding you for the horrible idea of combining two horizons. Combine with defining center black line splitting two uneven halves of the photo, should be a technical foul. Its pulled off stunningly, and the two sides seem to merge as a continuation of eachother rather than two separate entities

Lighting - big one for me personally, lighting can really make or break a picture. Lighting is excellent. Colors are vivid and strong. The cool but intense purple tones contrast and nicely compliment the warm yellows and oranges.

subject matter - taking an already intense sunrise/set and making it look truely unworldly as some sort of nebulae or intergalactic phenomena

Texture - sharp, detailed and crisp textures.
